Year 7 - Q4.5.09
20455
The equality \(0.6\times350=6\times35\) is true. A learner assumes \(0.6\div350=6\div35\) must also be true. Explain why the division claim fails, and give a correct equivalent division with numerator \(6\).
Hint
For products, scaling the two factors in opposite directions can cancel. For quotients, consider equivalent fractions.
